*The original commentary on our work by Blyth and Latham (1998) is one of the greatest papers of all time!

Why?

Because Blyth and Latham did something we don’t do enough of in science; comment on work that we have questions about or think is wrong. The reasons for this lack of action by our peers are obvious to those who publish. Those being criticized or whose work is being challenged might review the manuscripts and proposals of those who have criticized them. Therefore, they MIGHT thwart those publications and proposals if such exchanges end up being grudge matches. I loved what B&L98 did!

And I couldn’t wait to congratulate Prof. Blyth in person later that year at conference for his looking into our work! This is how science should be and I wanted to show that.

Of course, we still think our work is correct, it goes without saying…

**Got us a Guinness World record certificate! BTW, a larger drop (1 cm diameter!) was measured by Ken Beard, U of Il, Urbana, in a HI project years earlier, but he and co-authors didn’t publish it. Found out about this larger drop in a private correspondence after our report came out. We didn’t know how Guinness became aware of our measurement to award us that certificate.
